Tyrese Campbell scored the only goal of the game at Bramall Lane.

That’s because Hamer is just 5ft 7in tall.

While team-mate Souttar stands an entire foot higher at 6ft 7in.

And to solve the problem, Sky Sports had Hamer stand on a white stool to considerably boost his height.

Another declared: “Who brought that stool to the ground?”

One noted: “No way this is real.”

Another added: “They lying about heights now.”
